The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has granted type certification to Piper Aircraft for its M700 Fury turboprop single, including approval for flight-into-known icing (FIKI). The Vero Beach, Florida-based manufacturer expects to make its first delivery to the UK later this month.&nbsp;
“This milestone reinforces Piper’s dedication to meeting the needs of global markets with innovative and capable aircraft like the Fury,” said Ron Gunnarson, Piper Aircraft’s v-p of sales, marketing, and customer support.
CAA approval completes the M700 certifications Piper promised to its committed customers this year, and the company is now focused on securing additional foreign certifications.
Following&nbsp;the FAA’s type certification in March,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-08-29/piper-m700-gets-transport-canada-nod">Transport Canada</a>&nbsp;became the first to validate the M700 in August.&nbsp;Piper has since obtained additional <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/general-aviation/2024-10-29/m700-fury-certifiably-certified">foreign validation</a>&nbsp;from EASA, Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC), and Australia’s&nbsp;Civil Aviation Safety Authority.&nbsp;The company is working to expand its market presence in Mexico, Colombia, and Asia.
“We are excited to bring Piper’s flagship aircraft to operators across the region,” said Alex Brown, commercial director of the British European Aviation Group, a Piper Aircraft dealer. “We will soon be announcing dates for a 2025 sales tour across the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands, Spain, and Portugal.”
